Cabbage White

This little butterfly was kind enough to sit still long enough for me to take a picture.

Cropped the picture to just show his/her head

Leon this is lovely. FAV. Have a look at the one I took this morning. He's a wetter, colder version of your butterfly! @shepherdmanswife/365

@leonbuys83 what lens did you use to take this photo?

[Leon Buijs]

@shepherdmanswife the Canon macro 60mm lens on a Canon 550d so crop sensor, I did a very tight crop on this picture btw, from L size RAW (5400px??) to 1686px. In the original picture the whole butterfly is visible..

You use the same lens as I do. Well done. I know how hard it is to get such good focusing.

@shepherdmanswife thank you, I most times use a monopod when shooting macro, it helps a lot with the focusing.
